Once Human was launched on July 9, 2024, for PC, Android, and iOS platforms. However, the title's developer, Starry Studio, didn't release it on the Xbox Series X or S, which means the game is not playable on these consoles. The studio didn't launch it on PS5 either.

In this article, we discuss the possibility of the Once Human launching on Xbox Series X and Series S.

Note: The information provided here is based on current events and may change in the future.

Once Human's developer, Starry Studio, skipped the launch of Once Human on every console, including those from Xbox.

Once Human is Starry Studio's first game to date, so the company probably wants to play it safe. The PC and mobile platforms are the developer's primary focus. That's why it did three public tests to ensure the game has no major bugs upon release.

Once the initial launch goes smoothly, Starry Studio may announce its plan for consoles.

An X user recently questioned Starry Studio on the matter. The developer replied, saying a console launch is on the cards, but a lot depends on the internal testing and feedback from players.

Therefore, if Once Human becomes a hit and players love it, Starry Studio will consider bringing it to consoles. Hopefully, that includes the Xbox Series X and Series S.

If the game is playable on mobile phones, we are sure the two Xbox consoles can handle it with better graphics.

There's a good chance Once Human will arrive on Xbox Series X and Series S, but it probably won't happen anytime soon. Only the game's success on the other platforms will determine if it makes it to consoles.

Starry Studio posted on X that an announcement for the console will be made as soon as there's a substantial development.


How to play Once Human at the moment

You will need a PC or a mobile device to play Once Human, and there's no controller support. Starry Studio confirmed this on X while replying to a user.

Since the Steam Deck relies on its built-in controller, there's no official support for it either.
